It would be so FRIGGIN AWESOME for Smokin' Guns to one day have a story mode patch/game mode. That is the nail in the coffin to make the game EPICNESS(don't know if that's a word, don't care) It is probably more less likely than possible but hey, that is what we need to keep interest because the servers are sadly dying and not a lot of new cowboys are coming along.

Well, one would need

to write a story using the characters and maps we already have, and

to tell the story via the technical infrastructure we currently have.

I could imagine that demos could be used to record and replay story elements. Demos can contain text (chat) and even voip chat. I think one can also play given sounds in demos. Sadly, SG doesn't support ogg at the moment. Apart from that, Quake3 should support scripted scenes in principle.

That said, I don't think it is ever going to happen, unless you work at it . This is a community, not a business. There is no group of developers who have the time, motivation and skill to implement this.
